Yoga is an ancient system of relaxation, exercise and healing with origins in Indian philosophy.

Yoga and Health

It has been hypothesized that yoga may benefit health through mind-body interactions. In yoga, poses are held for varying lengths of time using gravity, leverage and tension. Breathing techniques are also used. Rapid breathing (kapalabhati) and slow breathing (nadi suddhi) may be practiced along with stretching exercise.
